Positioning figure on following page.

B

Brian

Hi Word community,
I would like to insert a figure on the first page
following its reference in the text. The text should
continue on the page that the reference occurs on and
skip the page with the figure. I cannot figure out how to
do it with the layout options, advanced options, with and
with out the drawing canvas. This is a common feature in
books. I got to be missing something. It shouldn't be
this difficult. Please help? Thanks

This can't be done in Word, which is not page layout software. It can be
fudged, but it's best to do this after editing is complete. You will have to
manually break a paragraph at the bottom of one page and continue it two
pages later (with all necessary formatting fudges if it's justified) and
insert the graphic inline on the intervening page. There's no point trying
to make the graphic wrapped because it will still have to be anchored to a
paragraph on the same page, and that paragraph, even if empty, will still
interrupt the text flow. A better solution, if acceptable, is to make the
graphic less than one page in size, allowing some of the document text to
appear on the same page. The graphic can then be anchored to that text,
which will wrap around it.
